This photo could use a wittier caption than I am able to think of at the moment.

To me it looks like Clinton is going through the guys wallet while Hillary distracts him.

"...because blow jobs didn't constitute sexual relations." Ah! You don't get rarefied political discussion like that anymore! Doesn't it just make you hungry for Clinton II?

the House impeachment managers would subsequently try to argue that Blumenthal and Clinton had plotted together to obstruct justice by spreading false stories about Lewinsky. It was a ridiculous allegation, much less plausible than the Starr Report's claim that Clinton had coached his secretary, Betty Currie, to give false testimony about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

I guess Timothy Noah thinks that all those news stories about stalker Lewinsky have been "disappeared" off the Net. I'm here to tell him that some people saved them. ;-)

The partisan hysteria surrounding Clinton's impeachment created so much mayhem on Capitol Hill that the articles of impeachment never included Clinton's perjury in the Jones case, the one crime we know that Clinton committed. Bad Sid isn't quite bad enough to underscore that irony. Ever the loyal friend and aide, he edges close to endorsing Clinton's ridiculous claim that he hadn't lied in the Jones deposition because blow jobs didn't constitute sexual relations.

I guess Noah didn't catch The Squid on Hannity the other day, where Bad Sid stated categorically that Clinton committed no crimes. But then, Timothy Noah isn't probably interested in the facts, now is he? ;-)
